Black Sheep
Natasha (Izzy Wilde) is chilling on a sofa, conversing with her companion over the phone. It transpires that she's looking after her friend's family house for a week while they are away. Despite being aware that her friend and her parents are not present, Natasha tentatively inquires about her friend's rebellious brother, Ashton (Michael DelRay). Learning that he's off with his university friends, she feels a hint of disappointment, possibly yearning for a serendipitous encounter while they were in solitude... Just as Natasha is about to end the call, her friend alerts her about some suspicious activities in the vicinity. Although Natasha is slightly anxious, she maintains her poise and confidence, expressing her gratitude for the heads-up before ending the conversation. Later that evening, Natasha attempts to doze off on the couch but struggles to find a comfortable position. She finally stands up and is on the verge of occupying her friend's bedroom for the week but pauses outside Ashton's room. She grins like an excited schoolgirl as she enters, swiftly making herself at home on Ashton's bed. Even later into the night, Natasha awakens with the eerie feeling of being observed. She's taken aback when she spots Ashton near the bed, a smug expression on his face as he scrutinizes her with curiosity. When he queries her presence in the house, Natasha clarifies that she's housesitting and was led to believe he wouldn't be home. Intrigued, she questions what HE is doing in the house... Although Ashton attempts to be evasive, it quickly becomes clear that he's somehow implicated in the dubious activities around the area. Natasha is aroused by his rogue behavior but strives to maintain a cool and rational demeanor. Nonetheless, Ashton detects her attraction and exploits it as he makes a move on her. Now that Natasha is privy to his secret, perhaps there's a tiny favor HE can perform for HER to ensure it stays between them...
